Some protozoans have special organelles called contractile vacuoles that continually eliminate excess water from the cell. The p

Answer:

Liquid and with a higher osmotic pressure

Explanation:

Remember that a cell that is surrounded by an environment with a higher osmotic pressure, will produce that the cell get some water outside to make some dilution to the salt concentration that surrounds the protozoan.

2. Which characteristic do most cartilaginous fish have?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Option 2: Spiracles.

Explanation:

Cartilaginous fish (also called Chrondricytes) have a skeleton of cartilage, instead of bone. There are two subclasses - Elasmobranchii and Holocephali. Sharks, rays, skates and sawfish are elasmobranchs while chimeras are holocephali.

Here’s a list of features of cartilaginous fish in comparison to bony fish:

1. Cartilage skeleton: unlike bony fish that have a skeleton made of bones (just like other terrestrial vertebrates), the skeleton of cartilaginous fish is made of cartilage.

2. Spiracles: this is a modified gill of sorts, it aids with respiration and is found slightly behind each eye. It leads directly to the mouth. Most cartilaginous fish possess this organ (exceptions are present, such as hammerhead sharks). Bony fish do not possess spiracles.

3. Ampullae of Lorenzini: absent in bony fish, these organs are electroreceptors that form a network of pores filled with a form of jelly that can transmit electrical signals. It allows the cartilaginous fish to sense electric fields in the water (such as the movements of a fish struggling), magnetic fields and temperature. Some bony fish such as sturgeon and lungfish may possess these organs, however research is still ongoing.

4. Claspers: male cartilaginous fish possess an organ known as claspers at their pelvic fin. This is used during reproduction to transfer the sperm into the female for fertilisation. As such, internal fertilisation occurs in cartilagonous fish. Bony fish do not possess this organ, and external fertilisation occurs.

There are many other characteristics that differentiate cartilaginous fish from bony fish. They're an extremely fascinating group of animals that unfortunately, is decreasing in numbers. Very little is known about many of these animals, so it is important that we do our best to conserve the sharks, rays, sawfish and chimeras before we lose them forever.

Which is true of the light reaction of photosynthesis?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Answer: The correct option is C) It produces ATP.

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants prepare their own food using CO₂ and H₂O in the presence of sunlight. It is primarily divided into light reaction and dark reaction.

The light reaction takes place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. In this reaction, energy from sunlight is captured by the chlorophyll pigment via a series of chemical reactions. This results in the formation of two high energy chemical compounds, which are ATP and NADPH.

These compounds are further used in the dark reaction for the synthesis of food ( which is glucose).

Thus, it produces ATP is true for the light reaction of photosynthesis.
